Cold Coding - Lake Geneva

Cold Coding is a December trail running event organized by TYDISH Running at Lake Geneva Ziplines and Adventures in Lake Geneva, WI. The event centers on Canicross but also allows runners with dogs using a Y-shaped harness and hand-held leash, plus an option to run without a dog as a "Soulo" runner.

The 4-mile loop includes 463 ft of ascent and 479 ft of descent. The course follows winding, technical single-track trails and includes bridges used by mountain bikes. The grounds are not for exclusive use; participants should yield to other trail users and follow Leave No Trace practices.

Awards and finishers

  • Only runners with dogs are eligible for podium awards.
  • Finishers receive a practical finisher item rather than a medal.
